| Limitations | As a smaller, lightly funded vendor its scale, integration breadth, and public reference base are more limited than those of larger governance competitors. | AI-governance modules are extensions of a security-compliance core rather than a purpose-built AI risk platform; deep model-level risk assessment, algorithmic testing, and legal interpretation of high-risk EU AI Act obligations still require external expertise. Pricing is quote-based and can be costly for smaller teams. |
